Category The Producers (1968 film) - Wikiquote The Producers (1968 film) Jump to: navigation , search The Producers is a 1968 film about producers Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom who make money by producing a sure-fire flop. Written and directed by Mel Brooks . Hollywood Never Faced a Zanier Zero Hour! Contents Max Bialystock[ edit ] How humiliating. Max Bialystock. Max Bialystock. You know who I used to be? Max Bialystock! King of Broadway! Six shows running at once! Lunch at Delmonico's. $200 suits. You see this? This once held a pearl as big as your eye! Look at me now. LOOK AT ME NOW! I'm wearing a cardboard belt! I used to have thousands of investors begging, pleading to put their money in a Max Bialystock production. Look at my investors now. [He opens a cabinet with pictures of wealthy, elderly women] Voila! Hundreds of little old ladies stopping off at Max Bialystock's office to grab a last thrill on the way to the cemetery!

[To Leo] You have exactly 10 seconds to change that look of disgusting pity into one of enormous respect. One, two... Do the books. Do the books...Window's so filthy, can't tell whether it's day or night out there. That's it, baby, when you've got it, flaunt it, flaunt it! That's exactly why we want to produce this play. To show the world the true Hitler, the Hitler you loved, the Hitler you knew, the Hitler with a song in his heart. How could this happen? I was so careful. I picked the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast. Where did I go right? Bloom, look at me. Look at me, Bloom! Bloom, I'm drowning. Other men sail through life. Bialystock has struck a reef. Bloom, I'm going under. I'm being sunk by a society that demands success when all I can offer is failure. Bloom, I'm reaching out to you. Don't send me to prison. [bellowing] HELP!!! Next time I produce a play, no author. Springtime for Hitler and Germany, Deutschland is happy and gay.

We're marching to a faster pace: Look out, here comes the master race! Springtime for Hitler and Germany, Winter for Poland and France. Springtime for Hitler and Germany, Come on, Germans, go into your dance. Don't be stupid! Be a smartie! Come and join the Nazi Party! Actually sung by Mel Brooks Others[ edit ] Leo Bloom: [reading the title of the play for the first time] "Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp with Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden"... Wow... Franz Liebekind: I am the author. You are the audience. I outrank you! Franz Liebekind: Adolf Elizabeth Hitler Leo: Let's assume just for the moment that you are a dishonest man. Max: Assume away. Franz Liebekind: You know, not many people knew it, but the Fuhrer was a terrific dancer. Max: Really, I never dreamed that... Franz Liebekind: That is because that you were taken in by that verdammte Allied propaganda! Such filthy lies! They told lies! But nobody ever said a bad word about Winston Churchill, did they? No! 'Win with Winnie!' Churchill! With his cigars.

With his brandy. And his rotten painting, rotten! Hitler - there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! Two Coats! Churchill. He couldn't even say 'Nazi'. He would say 'Noooo-zeeehz, Nooooooooooooo-zeeehz!' It wasn't Noses! It was Nazis! Churchill!...Let me tell you this! And you're hearing this straight from the horse. Hitler was better looking than Churchill. He was a better dresser than Churchill. He had more hair! He told funnier jokes! And he could dance the pants off of Churchill!...Churchill! Max: It's practically a love letter to Hitler! Leo: This won't run a week. Max: A week?! Are you nuts? This play's gotta close on Page 4! Leo: Just think! Yesterday I was a meaningless little accountant...and today, I am the producer of a Broadway flop! Max: [raising his glass] To failure! Leo: [raising his glass in return] To failure! Drunk at the end of the bar: Oh, thank you. That's very kind of you. Leo: I would like to say something, your Honor.

Not on my behalf, but in reference to my partner, Mr. Bialystock...Your Honor, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, Max Bialystock is the most selfish man I ever met in my life. Max: Don't help me. Leo: Not only is he a liar and a cheat and a scoundrel and a crook, who has taken money from little old ladies, but he's also talked people into doing things, especially me, that they would never in a thousand years have dreamed of doing. But, your Honor, as I understand it, the law was created to protect people from being wronged. Your Honor, whom has Max Bialystock wronged? I mean, whom has he really hurt? Not me. Not me. I was... This man. No one ever called me Leo before. I mean, I know it's not a big legal point, but even in kindergarten, they used to call me Bloom. I never sang a song before. I mean with someone else. I never sang a song with someone else before. This man, this man, this is a wonderful man. He made me what I am today. He did. And what of the dear ladies?

What would their lives have been without Max Bialystock? Max Bialystock who made them feel young and attractive and wanted again? That's all that I have to say. [The ladies stand and applaud] Max: And may I humbly add, your Honor, that we've learned our lesson and that we'll never do it again.

Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening night. Things turn around when he's visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus.

To this end, they produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler written by escaped Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct. Finally, they hire as a lead actress the loopy Swedish bombshell Ulla (whose last name has over 15 syllables). As opening night draws near, what can go wrong? Well, there's no accounting for taste...

Susan Stroman I don't think the critics know what they are talking about. This movie rocked! It took me back to the old days of movie musicals.

You know, the Bugsby Berkley years, big and flashy with hum able songs. Based on the 1968 film starring Zero Maestel and Gene Wilder, and the smash hit on Broadway, the story of a failing Producer named Max Bialystock who has just had the worst show in town close called Funny Boy, a musical version of Hamlet. Distraught he runs into accountant Leo Bloom who comes up with the notion that you can make more money with a flop than with a hit. Max overjoyed to hear such wonderful news lays it all out. Step 1. They find the worst play ever written, the "mother lode" as Max calls it when he comes across Springtime for Hitler, written by neo-nazi Franz Liebkind. Step 2. Hire the worst director, a prime and proper gay man named Roger Debris who wants to keep everything gay! Step 3. Raise 2 million dollars from Max's backers: harmless little old ladies looking for a last roll in the hay. Step 4 Open on Broadway and before you can say step 5 they close and run off to Rio. All goes well until Springtime for Hitler becomes a success leaving Leo and Max in the dust.

People have been comparing it to the original, which sure it has some of the same lines, and the story is the same, but both shows have something different to offer. You get songs in this version that you don't get in the original. Nathan Lane tears up the screen and will have you in stitches as Max; his show stopping number "Betrayed" will have you applauding. Matthew Broderick is also very good as Leo who can't grab life by the balls and go. He sings "I Wanna Be A Producer" with such gusto and dances with Ms. Uma Thurman, who is amazing as Ulla, and their dance number has sheds of the old Astaire and Rogers's musicals of the 30s. Also excellent, are Will Farrell as the Nazi who speaks to his birds and Gary Beach and Roger Bart as Roger De Bris and Carmen Ghia they gay "couple" who want to put Springtime for Hitler on the stage, both stand out in the cast, and both played the roles on Broadway.

Other familiar faces you will see are Jon Lovitz as Leo's accounting firms boss, Michael McKean as one of the prisoners and Richard Kind as the Jury Foreman who took over in the Nathan Lane role on the stage. Susan Stroman doesn't make the camera cuts flashy, they are simple, which makes it more enjoyable to watch the dance numbers, from the opening number to the hilarious "Along Came Bialy" when the old ladies do a dance break with walkers, to "Keep it Gay" to the uproarious Springtime for Hitler number. The best-staged number was probably "I Wanna Be A Producer" as it has shades from the 30s mixed with modern day. It was wonderful! If you listen to some critics who choose to say "this film show inexperience" or "not as good as the original" you are missing a terrific movie musical that is just as good as Chicago! Plus Mel Brooks was also standing there at the helm with Ms. Stroman. Be advised to stay until the very end of the credits to view something special!

Get Known if you don't have an account Share "The cast is great, the script is swell, but this we're tellin' you, sirs It's just no go, you've got no show without The Producers!" The Producers is a 1968 comedy film directed by Mel Brooks ; it stars Zero Mostel as failed Broadway producer Max Bialystock and Gene Wilder as fearful accountant Leo Bloom. The film, now considered a comedy classic, launched Brooks' long film career; several decades later, he adapted it into a Broadway musical starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick (as Bialystock and Bloom, respectively) which won twelve Tony Awards (the most Tonys a Broadway production has ever received). The show and original film also won an Oscar for best screenplay and two Grammys (Best Long Form Music Video and Best Musical Show Album), making this production responsible for six of Mel Brooks' collection of eleven major awards in the entertainment industry.

The Broadway adaptation was itself adapted into a film in 2005 (featuring Lane and Broderick in the primary roles), but this adaptation wasn't as well-received as the original film or the Broadway production. In all versions, the story depicts Bialystock and Bloom meeting for the first time and immediately falling into a get-rich-quick scheme : realising that the IRS never investigate the financial books of failed plays , they plan to oversell shares in a Broadway production by a wide margin, then deliberately produce a horrific flop which closes in one night, leaving them free to flee the country with the remainder of the massive initial investment. The two schemers choose as their Broadway bomb Springtime for Hitler , a "love letter" to the German dictator written by unrepentant Nazi Franz Liebkind. In the original film, their chosen director is Roger De Bris, who is wholly untalented and flamboyantly gay , while Hitler is played by Lorenzo St. DuBois ("LSD"), a charismatic but seriously brain-damaged hippie. In the musical, Liebkind is chosen for the role of Hitler, but breaks his leg at the last minute and is replaced by DeBris.

Bialystock and Bloom's plan culminates in a production which the opening night audience finds funny (they think it's satire), and since the play is announced to be a smash success , things only go downhill from there. Provides Examples Of: open/close all folders The Original 1968 Version Adaptation Distillation : In-universe adapting Springtime for Hitler, which was intended to be a serious piece about how awesome Hitler was, into a musical with wacky actor choices turned it from a guaranteed flop into a massive hit. Adolf Hitlarious : Springtime for Hitler owes its roaring success to Hitler being inadvertently played for laughs. Adorkable : Gene Wilder, who previously played a similar role of intelligent Bernard . All Germans Are Nazis All Part of the Show : Liebkind's causing a commotion in the audience and then his storming onto the stage in an effort to end the production. Ambiguously Jewish : Bloom and Bialystock, which tells you how much they're willing to do just to get the play produced. Both of them spit on the Nazi armbands when they throw them away.

Amusing Injuries / Bandage Mummy : What the protagonists end up suffering at the end; Franz is the mummy, still wearing his Nazi helmet. Audience-Alienating Premise : In-Universe , "Springtime for Hitler" is picked for this reason. As Long as It Sounds Foreign : Ulla's Swedish. They're all actual Swedish words, but it's completely grammatically incorrect: the "god dag min vän" is said as "god dag min vännen", which is closer to "good day my the friend". Leo Bloom: "My blanket! My blue blanket! Gimme back my blue blanket! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Franz Liebkind can't stand Winston Churchill. Bilingual Bonus : Ulla answers the phone with, "God dag på dig!" (Swedish for good day to you) Combined with Punny Name : Franz Liebkind. Literal translation: Lovechild... a euphemism for bastard. Breaking the Fourth Wall : Bialystock does this when he turns to the camera saying " This man [Leo] should be in a straightjacket. " This leads to a neat outtake in the musical film, where Max instead says the line to a statue.

Nathan Lane delivers it to the camera, then realizes "That's the first one." Bribe Backfire : Invoked by Bialystock to insult a well-respected reviewer, thus guaranteeing a bad review. Brief Accent Imitation : Frequent with Liebkind and Ulla. When Liebkind does a Winston Churchill impersonation to condemn Churchill's parodic pronunciation of the word "Nazis". Noses, Noses... it wasn't Noses, it was Nazis! Bromantic Comedy : Basically what the main story of this film is, with Max teaching Leo that as the remake puts it "there is more to him then there is to him". Bungled Suicide : Toward the end Franz Liebkind attempts to shoot himself, but the gun fails to go off. "Boy, ven things go wrong..." Busby Berkeley Number : Springtime for Hitler's opening, complete with the dancers forming a swastika. Call Back : One of the dirty games that Max plays with little old ladies is where he is a chauffeur named "Rudolpho". When Max is swimming in money, he has his own limo. The chauffeur's name is Rudolpho.

Also Max at the end, referring to his new cast of convict-actors as "animals". (See below under Take That .) The Cameo : Brooks' voice dubbed into the "Springtime for Hitler" number: "Don't be stupid/Be a smarty/Come and join/The Nazi Party!" Camp Gay : De Bris, his assistant Carman Ghia. Roger: Messieurs Bialystock and Bloom, I presume? Ha! Forgive the pun! Leo: (aside to Max) What pun? Max: (aside to Leo) Shut up! He thinks he's witty! "Adolf": Hey man, you're German! General: We're all Germans! "Adolf": That's right! That means we cannot invade Germany! I mean, I got all my friends here! The Casanova : Bialystock's impressive string of successes, albeit all with women even older than he is. Cloudcuckoolander : Franz Liebkind. Even aside from his blatant Nazism, he's more than a little strange. We first see him on the roof hanging out with his birds, who are apparently his friends... who he talks to.

Then he attends the opening night performance of " Springtime for Hitler " wearing his Nazi helmet and what's more, he goes up on stage in the middle of the show to berate the audience for laughing at his beloved Fuhrer. Corpsing : The still inexperienced with comedy Gene Wilder has declared he was struggling not to laugh, usually repressing it by reacting with shocked expressions (most noticeable at Roger De Bris' home). Creator Cameo : Mel Brooks ' voice is dubbed in for a singer in "Springtime for Hitler". Mel only sings: "Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi Party" for dancer Tucker Smith. Roger: Do you know I never knew the Third Reich referred to Germany! (later) Roger: We've got to do something about that whole third act - (shocked) - they're losing the war! Comically Missing the Point : Ulla, after Franz has taken the office by storm and Max and Leo are hiding under the desk: Bialystock: (after being badly startled by Ulla asking if he wants coffee) Why don't you ask the gentleman with the gun— the gentleman who is shooting at us— if he'd like some coffee?

Ulla: (nods and goes off camera) Would you like some coffee? (Max facepalms ) Courtroom Antics : Leo tries to appeal to the judge's compassion and sympathy, "no harm done", the old ladies concur with an applause and Max shows a deep remorse. An uplifting music acompanies the scene, it looked like a convincing defense, right? ... cut to the exterior of the jail where the duo is imprisoned. Dear Negative Reader : In-Universe example. Liebkind orders an audience member to stop laughing at the show, screaming, "You are the audience! I am the author! I OUTRANK you!" Delayed "Oh, Crap!" : Franz after noting "And zis IS ze quick fuse." - ZE QUICK FUSE!? Department of Redundancy Department : "This is wine, women, and song. And women." Digital Destruction : At least on the Shout! Factory Blu-ray and DVD, the 5.1 remix replaces "Springtime for Hitler" with the soundtrack's version, resulting in the loss of some sound effects. Dirty Old Woman : "Hold Me, Touch Me," as well as most of Bialystock's other conquests.

Don't You Dare Pity Me! : "You have exactly ten seconds to replace that look of disgusting pity with one of enormous respect!" Dude, Not Funny! : The production's use of Hitler and WWII for comedy. Of course, that's the point. In-Universe , Max tries to invoke this and make the show flop, but instead succeeds via Crosses the Line Twice . Eating the Eye Candy : Max when looking at Ulla. Eureka Moment : Bialystock's face when Leo muses about his "creative accounting idea". Loves Me Not : This sets up a bilingual joke in the Show Within a Show : Eva Braun (holding a flower): Er liebt mich, er liebt mich nicht, er liebt mir, er liebt mich nicht. (To Hitler) Du liebst mir nicht! Adolf Hitler: Hey, man... I lieb' ya, I lieb' ya, baby, I lieb' ya. Now lieb' me alone! Madness Mantra : Leo: No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out. Male Gaze : Half of Ulla's screentime in the original.

Also, in-universe, Leo can't glance away for a second. Misplaced a Decimal Point : Invoked. When begging Leo to not report his small scale embezzlement at the beginning, Max tells him he should just misplace a few decimals. Monkey Morality Pose : Max, Leo and "Failure" briefly form the cliche for a moment in the bar across the street during intermission. Ms. Fanservice : Ulla, gainaxing - stripperiffic dance included. Also an Innocent Fanservice Girl . Murder Is the Best Solution : Max suggests killing the actors may be the best solution to their problem. Negated Moment of Awesome : The duo's efforts to profit from the biggest flop on Broadway. No Antagonist : The story has no antagonist. It's simply bad luck going against our Villain Protagonists . Norse by Norsewest : Ulla. And her accent, which was requested specifically as "Swedish", had every Norse country thinking it was one of the other 4. No Celebrities Were Harmed : Roger De Bris was based on Ed Wood . Oh Crap! : When Max and Leo overhear that Springtime for Hitler will run for another five years.

Oktoberfest : The play has dancers dressed up in stereotypical German lederhosen and dirndl. Older Than They Look : "Hold Me, Touch Me" was played by Estelle Winwood, who lied about her age (she was 85 during filming) to get herself cast, and was surprisingly agile during the physical comedy. Considering the woman died at age 101, she was one hearty dame. Parallel Porn Titles : At one point Max escorts a stunned, thumb-sucking Leo from a theater showing "War and Piece". Poe's Law : Surprisingly Inverted In-Universe — instead of mistaking satire for the real thing, the poor choice of Hitlernote Beatnik Lorenzo St. DuBois makes the audience mistake pro-Nazi propaganda for an anti-Nazi satire. Powder Trail : "Ahah! Zis is an example of smartness. I have said zat zis is ze kvick fuse, und zis is ze kvick fuse! ...Ze kvick fuse!?!" Prayer of Malice : Max theatrically calls upon God to smite his landlord. The landlord tells God not to listen, Max is crazy. Carman Ghia is Karmann Ghia .

(Andréas Voutsinas thought he was going to get tar and feathered for the role. Fortunately, he wasn't.) Reaction Shot : Used to great effect during the premiere of "Springtime for Hitler". The audience is at first shocked and disgusted, while Liebkind, Max and Leo are delighted for different reasons. And then LSD comes onto the stage with his goofy Hitler and the faces of everyone begin to show an opposite reaction. Reality Is Unrealistic : Mel Brooks based Roger DeBris elevator on a real friend's. It, too, was tiny and could barely handle three people. And yes, he did tell people to remove their shoes before entering, too. Refuge in Audacity : The film itself. Roger Ebert liked to tell a story of a time he overheard a woman confront Mel Brooks in an elevator, saying, "Your film was nothing but vulgar!" Brooks responded, "Madam, my film rises below vulgarity." Reveal Shot : After the theater explodes, the scene switches to a bunch of old ladies weeping at what looks like a funeral service, but then the camera zooms out to show the protagonists actually being alive and tried at court.

A Round of Drinks for the House : Max does this while celebrating with Leo.. to the delight of the one other patron currently in the bar. Sanity Slippage : Franz was already loopy, but Springtime for Hitler makes him Go Postal . Security Blanket : Leo keeps a bit of his baby blanket on him in his jacket pocket. Sexy Discretion Shot Sexy Packaging \ Covers Always Lie : The poster basically sold it as a softcore porno by including a drawing of Ulla and nothing else. No mention of it being a comedy or the premise or even Mel Brooks (who was already known as a comedy writer), just sex appeal. Not surprisingly, the film flopped. Sexy Walk : Ulla, and she can't help it. Shoot Out the Lock : Franz does this to gain access to Max's place. The '60s : Lorenzo, baby! Lorenzo St. Dubois! Slow Clap : Beautifully subverted when the lone clapper is rounded upon by the rest of the audience. So Bad, It's Good : In-Universe , the reason Springtime for Hitler becomes a surprise hit.

Spiteful Spit : When Liebkind gives them Nazi armbands, Bialystock and Bloom throw them away in evident disgust and spit on them. Step Three: Profit : Subverted, in that Bialystock's six steps actually detail the route to profit. Stock Foreign Name : Franz is a Stock German Name along with his pigeons named Otto and Hans. Suddenly Shouting : Leo, prior to getting his confidence, has a tendency to scream without warning. Stunned Silence : The audience after the opening number of Springtime for Hitler. Stupid Crooks : After Max and Leo pull their Springtime for Hitler , they decide to blow up the theater with a little help from Franz. However, they're not sure if they used the short fuse or the long fuse for their bomb detonator, and their way of testing to find out which one they used is to light the fuse they already primed for the bomb. And then they discuss how the fuse they lit is behaving like the quick fuse, which wouldn't have given them enough time to leave the building. And just before that: "Don't shoot! It's the dynamite!

If you shoot it, it will get mad at us and blow us all up!" That Makes Me Feel Angry : "I'm in pain, and I'm wet, and I'm still hysterical!" Those Wacky Nazis : Franz Liebkind, as well as St. Dubois' Hitler Together in Death : Just before Franz tries to shoot himself, he rhapsodizes about how he will soon be reunited with his Führer. Unwanted Assistance : Max to Leo at the trial, whose "defense" of Max begins with a list of all of Max's faults . Villain Protagonist : Max and Leo may be funny, but they're both trying to defraud little old ladies. Villain Song : The opening number of Springtime for Hitler is a cheerful paean to Nazi Germany attacking the rest of Europe. Weirdness Magnet : Max considers himself one. It seems Leo only makes the situation worse. Max: They come here, they all come here. How do they find me. What the Hell, Hero? / Even Evil Has Standards : Leo to Max when he is contemplating killing the actors to save their necks: Leo: Have you lost your mind? Actors are not animals, they're human beings!

Max: They are? Have you ever eaten with one? What the Hell Is That Accent? : Lee Meredith has said that Scandinavian viewers attribute her supposedly Swedish accent to Scandinavian countries other than the ones they're fromï¿½Danes say it's Swedish, Swedes say it's Norwegian, and so forth. Wholesome Crossdresser : Roger DeBris, who is supposed to be in costume as the Grand Duchess Anastasia, to which he claims that he thinks he looks more like "Tugboat Annie." As Long as It Sounds Foreign : The "Good Luck" song, where Max yells "guten lachen" in his string of good luck yells. Guten lachen roughly translates to "good laughs." Ulla's catch-phrase "God dag min vännen". Technically all words are correct but the grammar is shot to hell. She's actually saying "Good day my the friend." Correct phrasing would have been "God dag min vän". An example that ought to have been avoidable since Will Ferrell speaks enough Swedish to know the difference.

Award Bait Song : In the movie musical, Will Ferrell's soulful and heartfelt rendition of "Gutentag Hop Clop" plays over the end credits Giftedly Bad : Roger de Bris. Hair-Trigger Temper : In a sense — Leo Bloom has numerous triggers but they cause him to fall non-violently to pieces. He gets better as the movie progresses. Hidden Depths : It's subtle, but it's there. Ulla comes off as a bit flighty and sort of a space cadet (albeit partially because she's in a country where she barely speaks the language), but she did manage to write "When You've Got It, Flaunt It" all by herself in less than a day. Hilarious Outtakes : Good lord. The reel on the DVD is a quarter of an hour long and will reduce you to tears. Apparently when Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick are in the same room together they induce chronic corpsing in each other. Historical In-Joke : Franz sends a carrier pidgeon to Argentina - a notorious haven for Nazis after WWII.

Hope Spot : On the opening night of Springtime for Hitler, for a few minutes it looks like Leo and Max's plan worked perfectly: the audience is disgusted and offended beyond belief and even physically assaults the one person who claps after the opening number. But then just as people are really starting to leave in droves, Roger as Hitler shows up, and his ridiculous appearance and mannerisms instantly convince everyone that the entire thing is a camp anti-Nazi satire, and they start laughing hysterically. Ms. Fanservice : Ulla, gainaxing - stripperiffic dance included. The Musical : Both in-universe and the film itself. Negated Moment of Awesome : Bialystock's and Bloom's efforts to profit from the biggest flop on Broadway. Nice Hat : Bialystock forbids Bloom to wear his spare black fedora because "that's a Broadway producer's hat, and you don't get to wear the Broadway producer's hat until you're a Broadway producer! "And you're not a Broadway producer, until you've produced a Broadway play!" No Sense of Humor : Max Bialystock, apparently.

Anyone with any sense of humour could tell "where he had gone right." Not What It Looks Like : In the 2005 version, after "Springtime for Hitler" is a success, Bloom and Max fight over the bank account books. Roger and Carmen walk in when Bloom and Max have hit the floor, with one on top of the other, and are saying "Give it to me!" Roger remarks, "Now, that's what I call celebrating!" Offscreen Crash : Franz "breaking a leg". The Oner : Some scenes in the 2005 movie are made as these, especially in certain scenes when Max is singing. Most notable examples include the opening of Along Came Bialy. Overly Long Name : Ulla Inga Hansen-Bensen-Janson-Tallen-Hallen-Svaden-Swanson ( A name that will soon be up in lights - if they can find enough bulbs ). And that is just her first name. We don't get to hear her last name, because they " don't have the time " to hear it. The courtroom scene briefly appears to build up towards it, only to reveal that she's married Leo and taken his last name instead . Perpetual Tourist : Discussed.

The most recent version also has Leo Bloom (temporarily) end up somewhere vaguely South American. Poe's Law : Surprisingly Inverted In-Universe — instead of mistaking satire for the real thing, Roger De Bris's last-minute stand-in as an overly-camp Hitler makes the audience mistake pro-Nazi propaganda for an anti-Nazi satire. Pragmatic Adaptation : The role of LSD doesn't translate well in the 21st century, and that, coupled with a society more open about homosexuality, allowed Roger De Bris to get a larger (and funnier) role in the play. One critic pointed out that the LSD character could still have worked in the remake, since the story is now set in 1958 and the character in retrospect seems more like a Fifties beatnik than a New-Age Retro Hippie . Promoted to Love Interest : Ulla now gets together with (and even marries!) Leo. Punny Name : Roger De Bris, Carmen Ghia. Queer People Are Funny : Roger De Bris and his entourage, particularly during "Keep It Gay". Raging Stiffie : Ulla: You like it? Max: L— like it?

I want you to know my dear that even though we're sitting down, we're giving you a standing ovation. Reaction Shot : Used to great effect during the premiere of "Springtime for Hitler". The audience is at first shocked and disgusted, while Liebkind, Max and Leo are delighted for different reasons. And then Roger De Bris comes into play with his goofy Hitler and the faces of everyone begin to show an opposite reaction. Reliably Unreliable Guns : Franz Liebkind's Luger jams and fires when dropped, with great comedic timing. The classic Luger's toggle action actually is somewhat temperamental . Security Blanket : Leo keeps a bit of his baby blanket on him in his jacket pocket. Sexy Scandinavian : Ulla in both versions, but perhaps more so in the original. Sexy Secretary : The reason Ulla got hired. Shameless Fanservice Girl : Ulla is not shy about showing off her physical beauty. Hell, "When You've Got It, Flaunt It" is practically a love letter to this trope, with Ulla singing about how, if a girl wants to get anywhere in show business, she better be ready and willing to show some skin.

Snake Talk : "Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss...sss?" So Bad, It's Good : In-Universe , the reason Springtime for Hitler becomes a surprise hit. The musical adds Roger's camp and over-the-top portrayal of Hitler to sell it as satire instead of the straight musical Franz wanted. Sliding Scale of Adaptation Modification : The 2005 version lands on the Type 5 end of the scale (Identical Adaptation). Suddenly Shouting : Leo, prior to getting his confidence, has a tendency to scream without warning. Suspiciously Specific Denial : Franz: I was never a member of the Nazi Party! I only followed orders! I had nothing to do with the war! I didn't even know there was a war on! We lived at the back, near Switzerland. All we heard was yodelling... yodel le he hoo! Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo, Yodelay, Yodelay, Yodelay''
